Tendo listens to the message again, frowning lightly. "... The more I listen to ___ on this the more I want to take everything back." He sighs, resting his head on the desk.

            "It is sad hearing that lil chipper so down." Death agrees. "Rakurai is reporting in. Says no one has noticed the switch and everything is going smoothly." He adds, checking his phone when it goes off.

           "I didn't see any problems there." Tendo murmurs. "How's the captive?"

           "He keeps demanding to speak with you." Death answers.

           "Only so he can attack me. I didn't take him for the wild type." Tendo says before replaying your message. "Think I should call back..?"

           "... Don't you need to pick up that other device and canisters from that Kita lad?" Death tells him. Tendo pauses and sits up. "You'll behave as long as there's other people right?"

           "Yeah but…" Tendo frowns unsurely.

           "Face it boss. If a week goes by you'll still be listening to that message and regretting it." Death goes over and puts a cup of coffee on the table next to Tendo's phone. "Go see yer love. Who said break ups gotta last?" 

          "I… Can't. If I leave now that guy will escape, and our chance to take out another branch of Claw will go down the drain.. I will message Kita and then call ___. Kobalt, fill the hall around his chamber with black water. He needs to stay put for the next few hours. Claw will contact us then." Tendo breathes, sipping the coffee.

          "Yes boss." Death moves to do so. Tendo glances at the door, one of his eyes lighting up.

          "Oh… That's a problem… Why does everything look uncertain now?" He frowns at the current future. Must be Glow's presence. A deadly smile forms on Tendo's lips at that. "Hope you're ready, Glow. I'm going to show you exactly why I run this show… And once Claw's out of the way, there won't be any more uncertainties left to surprise me other than my dear  ___.” 

*-*+*-*

       You shift awake, feeling a weight on your shoulder and pausing, opening your eyes to find Oikawa's head on your shoulder. You blink at his face a few times and blush. "Oh… He's so cute…" You whisper hugging his head and kissing his temple, making him chuckle in his sleep, blushing lightly. "Sorry… I couldn't help it." You murmur lightly. He smiles and hugs you warmly. 

        "That's okay." He hums, keeping his eyes closed. 

        "So nice to wake up to you in the morning." You cup his face, rubbing his cheeks affectionately. He smiles softly and hides his face in your shoulder with another chuckle.

         "You too…" He breathes. You nuzzle his hair before pulling away.

         "You can go back to sleep. I'm going to make breakfast." You murmur, getting out of bed. 

         "Wait…" He hugs your waist, almost making you fall over. "Don't go yet." He grumbles into the small of your back, making a shiver go through you. 

         "F-Fine… You're so demanding." You manage, patting his arm. 

         "I gotta use the bathroom. Get back in bed." He says getting up and going to the bathroom quickly. You blink and sigh quietly before crawling back in under the blanket, stretching slightly. He soon comes back out, rubbing one of his eyes and peering at you.

         "I should really go make breakfast." You sit up. He blinks and pouts, crawling over the bed to come nose to nose with you. 

         "But I…" He pouts more, forehead pressing against yours before he cuddles his cheek to yours.

         "You're so cuddly today." You comment as he lightly pushes you back down onto the bed.

         "Mhm… You're so warm." He smiles softly. "Like the sun." He looms over you for a moment, brown eyes looking into yours warmly. He lays on you, nuzzling your cheek. "Can't we stay here together…?" He pouts at you. 

         "We really should work on your memories of you…" Your phone starts to ring and you pick it up, heart skipping a beat before you quickly answer it. "H-Hey…"

          'Hey… I'm sorry it took me so long to call.' 

          "I-Its okay Tendo. I uh… I'm just glad you did… How are you?" You ask while Oikawa sits up, looking at the phone quietly.

          'I'm good. Got a busy day ahead of me… I got a hold of Kita. He'll be stopping by your dorm later with a new device and some canisters. Don't go letting Midnight mug you again. Okay?' He breathes with a light, teasing tone.

           "H-He didn't mug me…" You scoff.

           'Yes he did. He took that device and your innocent heart.' He teases.

           "Sh-Shut it. If anyone took off with the last one it's…" You trail off and blush, covering your eyes. 

           'Awww don't stop there, I wanna know.' He chuckles. 'Oh but I can guess… Sakusa?.'

           "I'm not going to tell you over the phone." You smirk.

           'Hey now… That's sneaky.' He breathes. 'Fine… How are the amnesia cases doing?' He inquires.

           "Well they're starting to relax now. Oikawa is really cuddly today. Won't even let me make breakfast." You hum, sending said guy a look. 

           "Someone else can make it. Don't go." He pouts, resting his chin on your chest and puffing his cheeks.

           'Aww. Sounds like he's taken by you, regardless of his memories or not. And I'm jealous about the cuddling part.' He breathes. Your heart sinks a bit, feeling like everything was about to turn sour in this conversation. '___, sometime soon. Let's go on a real date.' He says surprising you. 

          "Ah… You… You mean it?" You murmur starting to sit up.

          'Yeah. I know we should stay apart but… Let's be honest. I miss you more now than I ever have… So if I'm going to do this. I'm going to do it right. I'm going to make you fall in love with me too.' He states. You smile tearing up slightly. 

          "O-okay." You sniff.

          'Hm? Are you crying?' 

          "I'm just so relieved and happy." You rub your eyes with a sheepish chuckle. 

          '... I love you-'

          "More than anything in this world. You know that, right Tendo?" You finish for him. 

           'I… If you keep that up I am going to kiss you. So hard, when I see you again.' He warns, sounding flustered.

           "Heh. Bring it on." You chuckle.

           'I… You… I'm hanging up now. Goodbye and I love you.' He stammers before hanging up. You chuckle happily and hug Oikawa tightly. He blinks at you in confusion, hugging you back. 

           "Something good happened?" He guesses.

           "Yeah… Now let me go make breakfast." You breathe, trying to pull away but his arms tighten as he pouts. "I'm warning Oikawa."

          "B-But I just.." His grip doesn't slacken. You huff and meet his gaze before leaning up and kissing him deeply, feeling a slight jolt. He stiffens, arms loosening in surprise as you push him back against the bed before quickly getting up.

          "I'll bring you up a plate." You hum going out the door. He sits up, covering his mouth with a bright red covering his face.

           "O-okay…"

~

          "Ya okay boss.?" Death smiles a bit after Tendo crouches down and laughs cutely, hugging himself.

          "I'm so glad you talked me into that." Tendo breathes smiling at the floor. "I feel a lot better now." 

          "Good. I'm happy for ya boss, didn't feel right having ya all down." Death pat his back before pausing as Tendo suddenly gets up and hugs him tightly. 

           "Thanks Kobalt. You're a good friend." Tendo breathes. Death blinks and frowns starting to tear up.

           "D-Don't get sappy with me lad." He scoffs, hugging him back with a small blush.

           "Awe Kobalt. Are you crying?" Tendo chuckles lightly, patting his back. "... Wanna go rob an ice cream shop while the captive's asleep?"

           "... Yeah I need ta feel manly again…"

           "Alright let's go."

           "Ya sure it's okay?"

           "Yeah. He's strong but not stupid, probably conserving his energy because he knows he's about to be part of something big."

~

         You hum as you finish making breakfast and turn to go wake the others, freezing when you see Kuroo peeking in the doorway, looking at the food hungrily. Under his arm he held the black cat plushie you had given him to borrow.

         "Kuroo. You scared me." You huff touching your chest.

         "Sorry… I was hungry…" He frowns lightly. 

         "Heh. Come on, I'll make you a plate before waking the others." You hold out your hand to him. He takes it carefully before going with you as you make him a plate and walk him to the dining room.

          "Thank you…" He murmurs sitting down and pausing, looking between your hand and the black cat, not sure which one to let go of to eat.

          "Kuroo, I need to wake the others." You remind him, making him look up at you.

          "Okay… Can you wake up Bokuto first?" He requests.

         "Sure… You two getting along?" You ask him.

         "Yeah… He's nice, and warm like you. I'm not so scared if one of you is there." He says looking down quietly.

         "He would be really happy to hear that." You chuckle, kissing his temple. "I'll go wake him then." You pat his head before going upstairs and peeking in Bokuto's room, finding him fast asleep cuddling his owl hoodie. You pause, silently gushing as you ease in and crawl into his bed, pressing some soft kisses on his face and making him stir and smile a bit, waking up. He smiles up at you.

          "Did I tell you how much I love having you as an alarm clock?" He breathes pulling you down into a hug and kissing you. 

          "No. But I know I love being your alarm clock." You kiss his chin, making him chuckle softly. "I made food, and Kuroo requested that I wake you first." You tell him.

         "Awww… He likes me?" He chuckles smiling.

          "He said you're warm and he feels safe with you around… It was really cute and I totally understand what he means." You giggle lightly.

         "... You two…" He puts a hand over his face, grinning to himself. You chuckle at his reaction and steal a kiss, making him hum and touch your sides. "Thank you."

         "For what?" You tilt your head in confusion.

         "Your kisses just make me so happy." He breathes softly, laying his head back with a smile. He pauses, blinking at the ceiling.

         "So you haven't woken up the others yet?"

         "Nope..?"

         "Good." He suddenly rolls you onto the bed, wrapping you up in his blankets before going out into the hall. "HEY! HEY! HEY! ___ MADE FOOD!" He calls out as you free yourself, stopping to blink at him in surprised confusion. He soon comes back in, closing the door behind him before crawling onto the bed to give you another kiss.

         "Now no one else can get a cute wake up call from my love." He snickers.

         "Oh. You're clever." You poke his nose making him chuckle. You both smile at each other, looking into the other's eyes. "I love you."

          "I love you too." He grins like an idiot hugging you tightly. "You make me so happy."

          "Awww…" You chuckle kissing his cheek. "Let me get Oikawa so we can eat." 

          "Alright… I think Kuroo's almost ready to go memory searching." He says getting up with you.

          "Good. I'm pretty sure Oikawa is. Think I'll go with Iwaizumi and him to go search for his memories today." You tell him.

          "Alright, then tomorrow can be Kuroo's turn. Me and you can go with Kenma for that one." He says.

         "Sounds good." You kiss him and head upstairs to Oikawa's room, opening the door as he's pulling up his shirt to change. You both freeze and he swiftly puts his shirt down with a blush. "I'm sorry I keep doing this…. Um hurry up so we can eat." You tell him covering your eyes and backing out. He soon comes out, blinking at you quietly before taking your hand from your face.

          "It's okay. I don't mind." He manages with a light blush, smiling at you. You nod and lead him downstairs to the dining room, sitting between him and Kuroo to eat.

           "Iwaizumi, after Kita stops by let's head out to get Oikawa's memories." You tell him.

           "Alright… Kita's coming by?" 

           "Yeah Tendo said he was to give me a new K.K." You answer.

           "Oh good. You two are talking again." Kiyoomi sighs in relief, sitting back before pausing. "Wait. Did something happen to your last K.K?"

           "... Midnight might have… Mugged me when I was out with Ushijima before the trip…" You scratch your cheek.

           "What?! Why didn't you say anything?" Atsumu questions.

           "No one got hurt and he escaped." You shift slightly.

           "He took your healing device. It's worth mentioning ___.” Kiyoomi scolds. 

           "You're right… I'm sorry." You murmur, looking down. You really should've been more careful talking about it. Oikawa blinks at the tension in the air before hugging you happily. 

           "I want to spend the whole day with you. Please ___?” He peers at your face smiling.

           "Well, that's kinda the plan." You blink at him. "Right Iwa-chan?"

           "Yeah." He scratches his cheek.

           "Not him. Just me and you." Oikawa cuddles your cheek happily.

           "Looks like he's feeling like himself now." Daichi comments.

           "But I need Iwa-chan. And he's coming." You state bluntly. 

           "Fine…" He grumbles. 

           After eating you go to change your clothes before meeting Oikawa and Iwaizumi in the lobby. "I'm ready. How about you two?" You ask stretching. 

           "I'm ready." Iwaizumi nods.

           "... I wanna go back in the room…" Oikawa pouts, touching your hand. 

           "No." You poke his nose before a knock sounds on the door. "Oh, must be Kita." You smile going to the door and opening it. 

           "Good morning." Kita greets as you give him a hug. 

           "Good morning Kita. Thank you for coming over." You smile up at him.

           "Of course. Though I wish you had told me you lost that device. When Tendo told me I got a little worried." He admits before holding up a pen like device. "This one is a bit more compact and easy to hide, canisters are thinner and hold less but.. I don't think anyone will think to steal this.' 

          "Awwe K.K 2.0 is so cute…" You grin, taking it carefully, he smiles and hands you an arm band lined with the new canisters.

          "Be safe." He touches your cheek. "And stop losing phones." He pinches your cheek.

          "That's just something out of my control Kita.." You chuckle, touching his hand. 

          "I'm starting to see that." He sighs and looks down. "Tell me about it soon? I have errands today so I must get going." He tells you.

          "... How about a date then?" You murmur, stepping closer and making him pause. 

          "I'll hold you to it." He smiles thoughtfully, tipping your chin. "See you."

          You smile and turn back to Iwaizumi and Oikawa. "I'm going to put this up and then we'll go." You say before quickly going upstairs to do so. You soon come back down and smile at them. Oikawa was keeping his distance from Iwaizumi as you all headed out together. Iwaizumi takes the lead and you fall in step with him. 

           "You okay?" You peek at his face while Oikawa tugs your hand for attention.

           "Yeah. It's weird having to physically walk down memory lane though." He blinks, looking ahead.

            "I bet… You're doing better than Kenma at least. I checked on him before we left, he's getting pictures together in hopes one of them will trigger a memory. He seemed really down, but not too worried." You hum, linking arms with him.

          "No need to worry. We'll get them back." Iwaizumi nods.

         "___…" Oikawa pouts, hugging your arm.

         "What? I'm paying attention to Iwa-chan right now." You frown at him.

         "No… Pay attention to me." He protests.

         "You stop being so demanding. Iwa-chan needs attention too." You scold.

         "I uh… Really don't. That's okay.” Iwaizumi blushes lightly.

         "I'm not going to succumb to his will just because he wants me to." You respond bluntly. "And I don't get to hang out with you much. This is a great chance for us to bond." You grin.

          "Didn't we bond when we shared a room?" He tilts his head.

          "Not really." You murmur. "A lot was going on and Claw took me." 

          "True…" He rubs his neck. "We were all worried, and a few of the others got really intimidating…" 

          "Yeah, I heard." You breathe. Oikawa frowns heavily, kissing your cheek. "You're so stubborn like this. Behave or I'm going to smack you." You huff to Oikawa. His eyes narrow at you and he pecks your lips. You karate chop his head at that and he stiffens before chuckling happily. 

           "... He really is clinging to you." Iwaizumi huffs, frowning at Oikawa. The other blinks at him and moves back slightly.

           "You're like a repellent right now." You comment to Iwaizumi. He blinks at you before putting an arm around your waist, glancing at the scowl on Oikawa's face before smirking and looking ahead. You pause and lean into Iwaizumi's side with a smile, making him blush. 

           He takes you through his and Oikawa's home town. Showing both of you where they had played, and some places that held important memories. But nothing seemed to click. Before you knew it, the sun was setting as you walked down an old road with them along farmland.

           "If this last place doesn't do it… I don't know what will." Iwaizumi frowns. You look at him and rub his back lightly. "Is this how it felt when Sakusa didn't remember you?" He inquires, touching his chest.

           "Probably. It really sucks but hang in there, we'll get them back." You breathe. 

          "___, I'm hungry…" Oikawa grumbles.

          "We just ate… Though you should've finished your food." You tell him.

          "I didn't like the food.." He scoffs.

          "I never realized how picky he is." You mutter. Iwaizumi hums, peering at Oikawa from the corner of his eye. 

          After a while longer he stops at a damaged shrine. "This is the last memory I can think of that'll work." Iwaizumi moves forward, ducking through the damaged doorway and disappearing. Oikawa grips your arm.

          "I don't like this. Let's go back." He tells you frowning.

          "What are you afraid of? Your memory might be in there." You tell him, leading the way after Iwaizumi. Oikawa pauses, glancing back with a heavy frown before going in after you. "So… Did you two do this or something?" You ask when you come to Iwaizumi's side, looking up at a broken statue.

          "No. We were playing in here when a fight broke out nearby. A villain came crashing through and we ended up becoming hostages." He responds as Oikawa comes to your other side, taking your hand. "Oikawa's quirk manifested that day, a bunch of needles came out of him and the villain dropped him. While the villain focused on him a hero came through and took him out. Oikawa was so in awe of the hero, and decided that day that was what he wanted to do." 

           "Wow… That sounds wild." You breathe. Iwaizumi nods and turns to Oikawa. 

           "So, do you recall anything?" Iwaizumi inquires. Oikawa blinks and looks around carefully before shaking his head.

           "No… Can we go now? I don't feel well." Oikawa tugs your hand seeming really uneasy all of a sudden. 

           "Okay… What's wrong? Are you sick?" You reach to cup his forehead but a tingle in your neck makes you suddenly lunge into him as something grazes by. You and Iwaizumi look over at the dart sticking out of the statue before someone crashes through the wall behind it, swinging an absurdly large mallet at you and Oikawa. 

           Oikawa's arms come around you then, large black chains coiling around you both to absorb the impact. You grip Oikawa's arms in surprise at that and one of the chains whip out to hit the man back out of the shrine. Iwaizumi punches back another attacker, looking over at you two uneasily. He opens his mouth to speak but the shrine starts to break apart, the ground beneath it moving like waves. 

           "Uh oh." Oikawa breathes, jumping back with you as the ground ripples and a giant spike rips through the floor. You remove your right glove, and get out of Oikawa's grasp swiftly touching the spike to disperse it.

            "Let's get outside!" You call to Iwaizumi who had jumped to the other side of the room.

            "Right." He nods and you burst your way out, being greeted by a group of villains.

            "___, we've been looking for you. Well. Your quirk actually." The woman chimes.

            "So you attack us? You guys really need to work on your communication skills before they get you killed." You tell them bluntly.

             "No point in talking. We already know you're going to put up a fight. You already know who we are after all." She hums.

             "Claw…" You and Iwaizumi say together.

             "That's right. But if you want to do this peacefully, we have prepared this nice titanium cage for you." She lifts her arm and the cage leaves the ground like it had lifted out of water. "Your friends here can join you. Or… You know. Die?" She tilts her head.

            "... I'm so fucking sick of that." You breathe, arm starting to tingle, making Iwaizumi and Oikawa stiffen. "Everytime I turn around some bastard is threatening my friends." What was this darkness starting to dance in your vision as everything seems to pulse? "Here we are minding our own and you feel the need to come screw with us?" You focus on them. "You can all just fuck off into the infinite." 

           "Oh." She whispers, sounding as if her heart had just dropped.

           "___, I understand why you're mad. But get ahold of yourself." Iwaizumi calls warily. Why was he shouting? He's right there. But the blood rushing in your ears was a bit deafening.

           '___. You're scary.' A child's voice echoes your mind and instantly clears it. You let out a breath, feeling light headed as you blink back.

           "I don't know what just happened, but let's grab 'em now." The big man says, suddenly swinging his mallet and sending Iwaizumi tumbling.

           "Iwa-chan!" You call after him but Oikawa suddenly knocks you down as metal wires shoot at you. While you move to get up, something makes the wires spaz and retreat as their wielder falls over shuddering. 

          "___, we should run now-" You're suddenly sent into the air as the ground flings you up. What's going on? Focus! Focus on what's around you. You were trying to tell yourself this but it felt like something had fried your brain. You twist instinctively, dodging the woman as she goes past in a failed attempt to attack you. You raise your right arm to her but stop yourself.  

           'What am I doing?' You fall to ground with a thud, pain shooting up through you. 

           "___!" Oikawa scoops you up, looking at you worriedly. He looks over for a moment, swiftly covering your eyes. A few cries sound around you, accompanied by the sound of rattling chains. He uncovers your eyes and you peer around in confusion, finding most of the group down. 

           Your eyes focus on Iwaizumi as he glares at Oikawa uneasily. "Let go of ___. Bastard." He snarls, arms igniting.

            "Huh? Iwa-chan what's wrong?" You hold up your arms in alarm. 

            "That's not Oikawa."
